AGB=Adjustable gastric banding is a form of restrictive weight loss surgery (bariatrics) designed for obesity patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or greater - or between 35 – 40 with those who have co-morbidities that are known to improve with weight loss. The gastric band is an inflatable silicone prosthetic device which is placed around the top portion of the stomach via keyhole surgery /laparoscopic surgery.

The placement of the band creates a small pouch at the top of the stomach which holds approximately 50mls. This pouch 'fills' with food quickly and the passage of food from the top to the bottom of the stomach is slowed. As the upper part of the stomach believes it is ‘full’ the message to the brain is that the stomach is full and this sensation helps the person to eat smaller portions, eat less and therefore lose weight over time.

The band is inflated /adjusted via a small access port placed just under the skin subcutaneous. Radio opaque isotonic solution or saline is introduced into the band via the port. A specialist needle is used to avoid damage to the port membrane. The port may be placed in varying positions – surgeon’s preference - and may or may not be sutured in place. Ports vary in design and according to which one the many band manufacturers choose to include. As the fluid is introduced the pressure around the outside of the stomach increases and in turn this decreases the size of the 'hole' that the food is able to pass. Thus, and increased restriction is produced and experienced by the patient.

Over a period of time restriction is increased until patients feel they have reached a “sweet spot” where optimal weight loss can be reached with the minimal fluid required. This is an individual experience and timing cannot be predicted. There are approximately 7 - 8 adjustable bands on the market the amount of fluid required and total content is varied.

If considering pregnancy ideally the patient should be in optimum nutritional status prior to conception and deflation of the band may be required prior to planned conception. This is also to be considered should morning sickness be present. The band may remain deflated during pregnancy and once breast feeding (or if bottle feeding 6/52 approx) is completed the band may be gradually re-inflated to aid post partum weight loss if needed.

AGB is a TLA for After Grog Bog.

Grog being a slang for alcohol; the expression refers to the need to empty one's bowels of the previous nights noxious contents. If you can make the toilet (bog) look like (remember, I said look like) you hung from a beam whilst delivering your fecal payload, personal bonus-points can be awarded.
